COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONPan Galactic Gargle Blaster is a Double Belgian IPA brewed exclusively with Galaxy hops. The nose is an impressive blend of citrus aromas reminiscent of guava and lemons. It also has subtle Belgian yeast esters. An intense, clean bitterness dominates the flavor profile, with little malt character to compete with. A fruity yeast sweetness is noticeable in the finish, alongside a resounding bitterness.

12 oz. bottle. Bottled 10/14/14.Thanks Brandon! It pours a very hazy orange color with a very small but dense off white head that disappears quickly. The aroma is lightly caramel up front with lots of grassy, piney hops and a good dose of sweeter tropical fruit. A bit too much toffee, but it could be the ageÖ The flavor is nice with more grass, spice, pine, guava and tangerine with strong piney bitterness. Iím not getting much toffee in the flavor which is good. There is some caramel, but itís secondary to the big hops going on here. Pretty clean for a Belgian yeast too with no phenols or banana esters, just a subtle spiciness that complements the beer pretty well. Itís pretty sweet up front, but the bitterness balances it out somewhat in the finish. Overall, this was pretty enjoyable. I wonder if it was more potent fresh.

This is one of Shorts finest brews. The aroma is very pleasant and sweet. Taste of passion fruit and Belgium yeast comes out. Very good good DIPA but may not satisfy big hopheads.

Bottle. Pours amber. Small white head. Big aroma of sweet grapefruit. Flavor is a mix of sweet citrus. Big palate. Lots of stickiness. Lots of sweet, but also plenty of the hop bitterness. Very good, but maybe a bit too in your face.

12oz bottle...pours a light orange with a smallish white head. Fantastic aroma of tropical fruit and flowers. The taste is even better with a bittersweet pine coming to the fore. Finished bitter and clean...very refreshing for a big beer. Outstanding.

Draft to taster. Looks solid; malty though. A transparent lighter copperish orange with foamy off-white head. Smells hoppy with notes of citrus and Belgian yeast, and some sweetness from the malt in the backbone. Tastes like it smells, but less hoppy and balanced, with a medium-bodied mouthfeel. A decent BIPA that smells better than it tastes.

Pours a hazy orange with a fair khaki head that settles to a thin ring and leaves intricate, spotty, soapy lace. Nose is awesome and involves a fuzzy, dusty, spicy yeastiness, sugary stone fruit, tropical notes of pineapple, and cake donuts. Pretty sweet, somewhat tart, quite bitter. Full bodied, oily, bright, fair action, crisp, drying and puckering with bitterness, with a long doughy yeasty finish. A good example of when a Belgian DIPA goes right. Wish I had a whole 6pack, thatís how much I liked it.
